About Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse and Raw Bar

BBQSpecial occasion

Housed in an 1870s building on Louisville’s Whiskey Row, this smokehouse fuses Memphis-style BBQ and Southern breakfast classics with a raw bar focused on daily-sourced oysters. The scratch kitchen turns out house-smoked meats and Kentucky Derby Hot Browns while the bar showcases over 2,500 bourbons, ryes, and whiskeys. Warm exposed brick and bourbon-barrel accents make it a spirited destination for land-and-sea dining any time of day.

What to Order

Kentucky Derby Hot Brown

An indulgent Southern breakfast staple: open-faced turkey and ham crowned with mornay sauce and melted cheese on toasted bread.

House-Smoked Baby Back Ribs

Memphis-style ribs slow-smoked until tender, glazed with a tangy house sauce for a perfect bark and bite.

Daily-Sourced Oysters on the Half Shell

Fresh, chilled oysters served with classic mignonette and house condiments — the perfect counterpoint to smoky mains.
